Our Faith
Orthodox Resources
The Archdiocese maintains a deep library on the Orthodox faith, and there is no sense in this parish keeping a thinner copy of it. These are the places we would send you.
Whether you are meeting Orthodox Christianity for the first time or have been Orthodox all your life, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America keeps resources to help you learn the faith, follow the liturgical life of the Church, read Holy Scripture, pray, and grow in your life in Christ.
The Online Chapel
The daily life of the Church: the Scripture appointed for each day, the saints and feasts commemorated, fasting, prayers and the calendar.
The Planner
The Church’s readings, saints, feasts and fast days added straight to your own digital calendar. A new one is published each ecclesiastical year.
Biblical resources
Articles and study material on the Orthodox understanding of Holy Scripture.
Search Holy Scripture
Search the Bible by book, chapter, phrase or word. The New Testament is available in Greek and in English.
Liturgy & worship
Orthodox worship, the Divine Liturgy, personal prayer, liturgical music, the Church calendar and the services of the Church.
Liturgical texts
Texts for the services and prayers of the Church — the Paraklesis, the Akathist Hymn, Great Compline, blessings and more.
The Digital Chant Stand
The official texts and music for the services through the liturgical year, in English, Greek and side by side. The practical way to follow Orthros or the Liturgy.
Hymns & music
Byzantine chant and the hymns of Great Lent, Holy Week, the great feasts, Orthros, Vespers and the Divine Liturgy — to learn from and to listen to.
Religious education
The Archdiocese’s teaching resources for every age — Scripture, theology, prayer, worship, the feasts, family life and parish life — including material for children, for Sunday School and for parents.
